Loneliness

York Wilson Paintings on the Poetry of Hagiwara Sakutaro

Towards the sides of the whitefish
Lane in the countryside
The mind of the tired horse
Stares at the slender, dried
Sun-seeking grasses which,
Slanted a little rightish
Between the hedge and the ditch,
Reflect the sun in shivers.

O standing as you stand
To face the sun declining
Into a sideways shining
Over this lonely land,
What, o my lone and shaking soul,
Can you so stare upon?

Over the horse’s dusty nose
The glass tears trickle down.
